  1. The fact is that before Roe v. Wade Women had abortions but they were a combination of legal and illegal procedures. In some areas doctors gave them to women on the QT. It was also a mafia racket business like gambling and drugs. Some went to Japan, Sweden, Puerto Rico, Hawaii or Mexico for legal abortions. Many died in back allies or in motel rooms by either self induced abortions or abortions carried out by criminals. Better contraception methods have reduced by not eliminated the need for abortions because no means of contraception is 100% effective for all women.

  2. @mineben256 Sure and just like the war on drugs and other needless Imperialist wars like Vietnam, Korea and Iraq it will fail after killing, destroying and injuring hundreds of thousands of real human lives needlessly. We will have a successful world socialist revolution including in the US. The only questions is how many lives will it cost to get rid of your rotten profit taking system.

  3. @mineben256 The war on drugs was actually a response to the fact that GI's in Vietnam were taking drugs because of the alienation caused by a war that many realized was senseless. Nixon was alarmed by the spreading drug use and ordered that no GI could be sent home without being drug free first. We aren't bringing in a New World Order via a secret conspiracy. All of our ideas, history and plans are openly available in both our books and Newspaper. TheMiitant.com and Pathfinderpress.com We want to convince the vast majority that we are correct not organize a secret coup plot. We are against starting any civil war. As long as we are allowed our constitutional rights we will restrain ourselves to peaceful protest, dialogue and contesting in elections. We are not a group of cheerleaders for Democratic Party politicians either.

  4.  @denverbroncos4  Okay your judgement is against abortion. When do you think you might need to decide if you need an abortion? I knew a man who had a family of 5 including his wife and was a church goer. He was definitely against abortion until he got one of his employees pregnant. Then he wanted to know if there was a way he could get his employee to have an abortion. I told him it doesn't work that way.

  5.  @Brandon-kx6ru Every child born should be a wanted child. Women are not all the same some can take these hormonal birth control drugs and some can't. Why should we have to go before a judge to get permission to seek medical assistance? Women seeking an abortion are not criminals. When was the last time a fetus said a word or answered a question or sought a court hearing from inside women body. Maybe you can get one of these anti abortion judges to hold court inside a uterus. After under your theories what better place to get down to the nitty gritty.

  6. @mineben256 While others may have abandon liberal discourse we have continually come out against trying to shut down campus debate. We don't think Trump is a fascist like Hitler because for one reason his supporters at rallies aren't engaging in attacks of political violence. Many are working people drawn by his promise to make deals and fix the economy as an outsider not his racial or immigration.policies.

  10.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  Sure everyone goes because the Imperialist say a gun is pointed at their backs. Huber Matos is both a traitor and liar just like you. "Cuban's could travel anywhere if they had the money." LMAO what's new? You have the Yankee dollar and you can buy whatever the Yankee Imperialists have. "Fidel sold every cow on the island to foreign countries." You don't really expect anyone to believe something as stupid as that? Marco Rubio has job for you filling a balloon with hot air. He promises to out do the Communists with free internet from a balloon. No free internet in the US but Rubio said he's going to bring free internet to Cuba. The Imperialist make promises they have no intention of keeping. They take a fool like you make a few promises and then your hooked on their nonsense. Everyone knows the poor do not get their needs meet in Cuba before the revolution. Their children had distended bellies full of parasites. The land owners beat the peasants like dogs. Blacks faced discrimination and segregation just like in the US. Women sold their bodies outside casinos. It was a capitalist paradise for the rich. Yankee sailors pissed on Jose Marti statues. The revolution changed all that.

  11.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  You will achieve nothing tearing the country apart based upon a campaign of lies from US politicians. The Cuban revolution has already achieved freedoms that even people in the United States don't have. Like free education though the University level and a Doctors care for the sick and elderly with no charge for that care. These are things that the US government targets the Cuban people for achieving. They wish to hide and destroy what the revolution has done in Cuba so that they can come in and gobble up more for the richest Americans. That is what capitalism is about protecting the wealth and power of a few rich capitalist business owners at everyone else's expense. The right to perpetually own, trade and sell. Where all decisions are made based upon profits for the business owners and then the owners control the government though politicians who are hired on to tell the biggest lies and make the best empty promises. That was the Cuban system before Batista.

  12.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  Prison is NOT the next step and you know it. Prison is the next step for those who threw stones, set cars on fire and attacked police stations. Richard Alarcon debated the Miami Cuban American National Foundation Rep on Spanish language TV. Yoani Sanchez became a darling of western media until she became old news since she was unsuccessful at provoking any kind of unjustified repressive response. You've left so how are you any different than the others? Just what is a legitimate owner? Is it like a legitimate hedge fund manager? The Agrarian reform act broke up the big estates including Fidel's families. Big Gates is buying up lots of farmland is he also one of your legitimate owners? I'll remind you that a revolution is not a strong arm bank robbery as you would like to portray it as such. The American Imperialist never offered the new government a dime worth of aid but they had spent plenty for arms to Batista. They began planning their campaign to overthrow the new government within less than 18 months. 499. Memorandum From the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Mallory) to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Rubottom)1 Washington, April 6, 1960. SUBJECT The Decline and Fall of Castro Salient considerations respecting the life of the present Government of Cuba are: 1. The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent). 2. There is no effective political opposition. 3. Fidel Castro and other members of the Cuban Government espouse or condone communist influence. 4. Communist influence is pervading the Government and the body politic at an amazingly fast rate. 5. Militant opposition to Castro from without Cuba would only serve his and the communist cause. 6. The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship. If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government. The principal item in our economic quiver would be flexible authority in the sugar legislation. This needs to be sought urgently. All other avenues should likewise be explored. But first, a decision is [Page 886] necessary as to the line of our conduct. Would you wish to have such a proposal prepared for the Secretary?2

  13.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  Originally Trump was going to Continue Obama's policy but then according to Marco Rubio he is the one who made Trunp's Cuba policy. Putting Cuba back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism and tightening the blockade. Rubio who was born here demanded an FBI witch hunt of Bridges of Love founded by Cuban born American citizen Iraq war Veteran Carlos Lazo. Lazo has called Rubio's bluff asking for a debate on Cuba policy.

  14.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  What you want is a return to capitalism and private property. What does Marx say in the communist manifesto? The goal of the communists can be summed up as abolish private property the property used to exploit others. Cuba does not have a stock market or Gambling casinos. Quit lying about dictatorship the Cuban people over overwhelmingly vote for the new 2019 Constitution. You want to US Imperialism in action look next door at Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Cuban police do not shoot down 15 year old children leaving a store. They do not fire dissenters from their state jobs. Yoani Sanchez had to request permission to leave her white collar job. She lives in Miami now as a University "Presidential Scholar". Accoeding to her hope lies in Cuban Professional's who work for the state wanting Western salaries. just like you the educated who want privileges are the hope for the counterrevolution.

  21.  @bobthebuilder4683  It was a Republican dominated court that wrote Roe v. Wade. The ruling came on the heels of other rulings that recognized women as being politically equal to men. There was a mass movement of young people demanding an end to the war, equal rights for women and Black people demanding redress of the lasting effects of segregation.

  26.  @T30-z5w  Blockade began with Kennedy administration and the was tightened with the Helms Burton act. It is multinational in effect because those foreign businesses doing trade with Cuba are subjected to US fines. This is why the whole world including NATO allies votes against the blockade at the UN with only a few abstentions and a No from the US and Israel. I'm sure all those New York stock brokers and hedge fund managers living in New Jersey mansion on private roads with huge flower gardens are working hard at the stock market swindle. As far as incentives goes don't waste my time with nonsense about pretend to pay and pretend to work. An attitude like that would of course never infect a too big to fail management culture? Capitalist are interested in enriching themselves only and it leads to a declining rate of return on investment as machines replace labor leading to calls for bailout and too big to fail. Who was in charge of wasting 2.3 trillion on the war in Afghanistan? Create a world currency that you can inflate at will such that property values rise while wages decline. Rather than the old fashion wage cuts rob the working class with inflation. Your whole world system of exploitation is in decline and you haven't the slightest idea of what to do about it.

  27.  @missf4681  Castro did not just take over he came to power as a result of a popular revolution that placed the cuban workers and peasants in charge.. That of course couldn't be true Fidel must of had string attached to everyone and everything from which he pulled back and forth from Havana Sure they almost starved just like everything else that almost happened but didn't. Like Yoani Sanchez who writes about what it would be like to be a political prisoner. Too bad they weren't Irish peasants under British capitalism and landlords than they could have died on the side of the road or taken a ghost ship to another country. Then Cuba could then be going into a population decline like Puerto Rico and what Ireland experienced for over one hundred years of British Imperial rule. . .

  28.  @missf4681  Those are made up lies no one was executed for disagreements otherwise their names would have been published in the mainstream media. Nor is their proof of torture either unlike the actions of prison authorities in the USA. All you have is just so many lies published by counter revolutionary terrorists with an axe to grind. Mao and Stalin are different issues and none of the Imperialist powers can say that they have clean hands either. The USA was the first and only power to use nuclear weapons on people.

  29.  @missf4681  Too bad you were caught in a lie unable to show that what you said about the Cuban revolution was true. Would you like a tootsie roll now? Sure I'll plead guilty to reading books and meeting people who have been to Cuba and those who collaborated with Leon Trotsky while he was in his second exile from Ukraine where he was born and the Soviet Union were he lead the Soviet Red Army to victory over 14 Imperialist armies including the US/UK. .

Your for murdering real people everyday. I don't want nobody feeling bad for me I'm trying to wake people up to the truth. This law will overwhelming take down young women. You don't care though do you? Their all hoes anyway right? When you get your secretary pregnant you'll begging her to get an abortion so you can avoid the rest of your women getting out of control and divorcing you. When a girl goes missing from the choir because she had an back alley abortion you will talk about how it was Gods will and not yours. Fucking hypocrate.

  36. BOSSES have already done plenty. Closing plants and moving for cheap labor elsewhere. Busting unions another 'good' action just like a BOSS who hungers for higher profits and bigger markets. If fact since 1973 BOSSES have been doing such good work that wages have been stagnant while productivity has skyrocketed. Now are you sure that you want to step it and fechet? http://www.thestand.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ss-productivity-earnings.jpg

  40. We have had a third party come out and permanently replace one of the other two. They were a new class party of wealthy industrialist called the National Republican Party. Abraham Lincoln was there 2nd Presidential candidate. The workers do not need access to bourgeois courts in order to fight back and win. You need only look at what the school workers were able to achieve in West Virginia. The were able to strike and win because they organized both socially and politically. All possible within a deep red state with Republican Governor and Republican legislature, no strike laws and right to work laws.

  41. Every deep political and economic crisis in the past has produced at least one third party. However those crisis were resolved, capitalism was able to continue and those parties were either crushed or reduced in influence.

A market will develop for underground abortions and the sale of drugs for abortions. Cops will get a new source of corruption income.
